I get 1x and 1xevdo for at least an hour a day. In store vzw reps are idiots and customer service is a joke when they don't understand what you're saying and do not speak English. Full power down and battery pulls temp fix but what's the point in paying this ASStronomical bill when it seldom works and is often unreliable at best.

SMS uses a CDMA control channel, not EV-DO data. SMS would if phone service is still up. SMS uses a CDMA control channel, not EV-DO data.

It was caused by a cut fiber link in Boston. It has since been routed around while repairs take place. It is over for the time being. It was caused by a cut fiber link in Boston.

FYI, while things were down, the homescreen displayed "1x" instead of "1XEV". Affected services included BIS, BES, web browsing [all phones, not just BlackBerry], picture messaging [all phones], Mobile Web, tethering, etc. -- SMS still worked as normal.

I drove from Upstate NY to Baltimore today, and I lost data services somewhere northeast of Philadelphia -- data services came back for a short period of time (minutes), and now they are back down here in Baltimore.
